I hate to criticise TheEscapist but....

did you actually read what i put Accursed? I said multiple times that i understand that.

Quote me, please.

And if you truly understood, you and the 200 hundred other people who make these threads wouldn't post this crap.

Sorry to Double post but. Accursed, why so aggressive, i'm only trying to talk to people.

I love to criticise The Escapist. Especially since it's so easy.

Oh ho, loaded statement there.

I guess every site has things about it that people aren't going to like. I used to like it here more, but that's probably just me being out of touch. The advertisements are irritating sure, but maybe it's a good reason to watch stuff you like when it comes out instead of watching a bunch at once. There are a whole lot of people here these days and I guess stuff like the ads are necessary to support the site.

For future reference, it's good to quote someone when you respond to them, so that they get a message notifying them of the quote and they can respond back.

Also, if you're lazy like me, it magically teleports you to the bottom of the page, saving a few seconds of scrolling.

Anyway, while I prefer banner ads, I'm fine with the video ones. A site with ads is better than no site at all. The problem I have is that they autoplay and seem resistant to pausing, which means I can't let them stream before playing, so instead of a nice thirty second ad, I get several minutes of occasional blasts of noise as it stops and starts over and over again.

Which assosciates the product with bad frame-rates and not allowing me to play music safely, rather than whatever the fuck it's selling.

I get a bit annoyed too. If I decide to catch up on a few videos I end up watching the same 2 adverts at least 5 times each.. the same 2 adverts that I've been watching for the past week or more. What really gets me is that sometimes I have to watch the add all over again for just pausing the damn video and continuing a short while later!

Please, less with the forced trailers and give us only advert 'frames' around some videos. Or a close-able add box on top of the vid like youtube does. Or only push an advert to someone that hasn't already watched one in the past 15 mins.

Ads suck but the Escapist is a business and they need revenue, not much different then Microsoft or Sony they might do stuff you don't like but they have to think about the bottom line.

Accursed settle down, he's a newby he just needs some time to settle in ^_^.

 

[The Sane]

Your post seems so contradictory. Or would a better word be hypocritical?

Well, I never like ads, but the escapist is not that obnoxious with ads. They used to play ads in the beginning of video clips, but they stopped that now. They just show the ad around the video, which I think is better.

They still do that, it's just not as common anymore.

I guess it depends on region (different adds targeting each country). I live in the UK and for the past few weeks I have been utterly spammed with video adds.

did you actually read what i put Accursed? I said multiple times that i understand that.

Quote me, please.

And if you truly understood, you and the 200 hundred other people who make these threads wouldn't post this crap.

Sorry to Double post but. Accursed, why so aggressive, i'm only trying to talk to people.

You brought up a subject that annoys me to no end. And you claim to understand it both ways, yet still think it's worth talking about. It's not. It's how the entire internet works.

All the same, I apologize. Yet another proof as to why I should wait 2 hours after waking up before hitting the internet.

 

[Paxel]

If you like the site sitting through 30 seconds of ads is nothing. I personally don't mind.

 

[MercurySteam]

Well, there's nothing you can do about it. There aren't any free programs or browser plug-ins like AdBlock to block out the unwanted content.

Well he could join the Publisher's Club (like me) but that would cost money directly from his pocket. If you're too cheap or don't have the money then putting up with it is just gonna have to become the daily grind.

 

[similar.squirrel]

If you don't like it, pay. It's as simple as that.

 

[PureChaos]

i just open another tab and spend 20 seconds looking at something else, then return when what i want to watch begins. The Escapist gets money from adverts and i don't get annoyed by the same advert over and over, everybody wins

 

[Inco]

They get the money to keep the site running by either Ads or the publishers club.
So you want to get rid of the ads? Then just pay for the pub club. Its only $20.

The best way to show your support for something is financially.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

All I'd suggest, for the good of the advertisers, and the Escapist, not just the viewers, is a range of ads. If you see the same ad 15 times in a day, I think it's more likely to put you off that product, instead of informing you and attracting you to it, however, 3 views of 5 different products, probably won't bug you as much and you'd be finding out about 5 new things.

I don't feel the OP is really complaining about the ads so much, as the constant repetition of one ad. Some variety would make for more effective ads and less irritation.

 

[ramboondiea]

well i dont mind the video adds, aslong as they dont take the piss and go on too long, but its the adds that pop up roundthe videos, because i watch this on a netbook its small enough as it is without the add shrinking the video, so i turn my add blocker on when watching a video but turn it off rest of time because i know its needed for the revenue.
think about it, they are providing countless hours of entertainment taking a few minutes to watch the adds isnt going to kill you

 

[Hybridwolf]

I don't mind the ads and I appricate the need for other sources of income, but when I have to watch two 30 sec adverts back to back for a 36 sec trailer, it's more then annoying. I don't mind adverts for the video's like zero or movie bob, but for extremely short trailers it's beyond irrating.

 

[irani_che]

I would prefer,
one, and only one advert per movie. having two is annoying and a third will be rage-generating.
